3.10. NAS Settings
The IP Camera provides the recording of the video files into a standard NAS (Network Access Storage) device.
The IP Camera connects to the NAS device using the standard LMX_NS/CIFS/SSN protocols that are the same
as the Microsoft Windows network neighborhood protocols. This makes the IP Camera easily record the video
files to all the standard NAS devices in the market. Since there are a lot of different choices, including prices
and scales, users can decide by themselves which is best for their needs. By using this function, the standard
NAS device is becoming a NVR (Network Video Recorder) device.
Notice
When the IP Camera is doing NAS recording, this is counted as one video user. Please refer to appendix B about
allowed maximum video users.
1. If the “Always Recording” is selected, the system will start to record to the NAS storage device immediately
and keep recording always. If the “Schedule Recording” is selected, the system will do the NAS recording
according to the “scheduling” in section 3.12. “Disable Recording” will disable this NAS recording.
2. When doing the NAS recording, the system will check the free disk space of the NAS device. If the free
disk space is less than the specified number, the system will do “Circular recording” (overwrite the oldest
recorded files of this IP Camera in the NAS device) or “Stop recording” as selected. If the “keep recorded
video for xx days” is selected, the system will do circular recording and over write the recorded video files
older than xx days ago.
3. The IP Camera can connect to the NAS device by using the “NAS name” or “NAS IP address”. If the NAS
device and the IP Camera are in the same local area network, the IP Camera can automatically locate and
connect to the NAS device by the “NAS name”. If the NAS device uses a fixed IP address (either in the local
area network or in the public internet), the IP Camera can connect to it by the “NAS IP address”.
4. The “Shared folder name” is the folder in the NAS device that will record the video files of the IP Camera.
5. The “NAS access account” and “NAS access password” are the username and password to login into the
specified “Shared folder name” of the NAS device.
6. NAS Scan – use this to scan for some specific NAS devices in the same network. Not all the NAS devices
are supported for this scan function.
7. NAS Info – display the NAS storage capacity and available disk space.
8. Configure NAS (web) – click this to connect to the web configuration page of the NAS device. Need to key
in the login username/password of the NAS device.
9. Access NAS files – on the Microsoft Windows platform, click this to access the files on the NAS devices.
In the Microsoft Windows environment, you can access to the NAS device by keying the URL address \\”NAS
name”\”shared folder name” or \\”NAS IP address”\”shared folder name” in the windows Internet Explorer, and
then key in the “NAS access account” and “NAS access password” to the prompted login window. The video
files are recorded under the subfolder IPCamRecordFiles/Recording/ID-ID, where ID is the ID of this IP Camera.
All the recorded files are with the name of hhmmss.crf format, where hh is the hour, mm is the minute, ss is
the second of the starting time of the recording video. The files are segmented every five minutes. Users can
use the free bundled LivePlay software to play back the video files.
